I agree about the anti vaxers, that's not what the thread is about. I stand by the op of the hypocrisy of our premier.As a bloke dealing with family on the East Coast, and GF in Switzerland I can relate. I literally had to watch my father die on Facetime in a Tassie hospital, and missed his funeral as well, while dealing with a long distance relationship evaporating due to 2 years apart.
But it was the right move from a collective perspective.
That's why these anti-vaxx cookers draw my ire. They're a bunch of selfish *******s that cant see the bigger picture.
I'd also argue that our govts. could've been more flexible whilst still holding our relatively free lifestyle. That may have allowed you to see your father face to face instead of facetime. It would've allowed me to see my grandmother one more time before her passing (as mentioned in the op), there's good argument that our govts. could've been a whole lot more flexible.
That's all up for debate of course, regardless it's not a set in stone that the way the govts. handled this was the only way.
